Claire Waldoff means nothing to you? But Theo Lingen and Marlene Dietrich? Then be curious about how these three were connected in the 1920s. Claire Waldoff first stepped on a Berlin cabaret stage in 1907 and sang her "Schmackeduzchen" against the will of the director. One day later, she is the "Star of Berlin." She lives with a woman and is emancipated before the word even exists. Claire Waldoff helps Marlene Dietrich with her first major stage appearance, and Theo Lingen knew her as a baby before she would later stand on stage with him. She is the voice of the common people, clashes with the authorities, but no one can keep her off the stages. Katja Schumann, accompanied by Veronika Eismont on the piano, shines a spotlight on the work and influence of this woman who shaped artistic life in Berlin from the 1910s to the 1940s like few others. Musical pieces from that time and texts by Ringelnatz, Kästner, Klabund, and others round off the evening. CLAIRE WALDOFF: A life that must be told.
